It was expected and it’s now official. Argentina will have to do without its captain, Lionel Messi, for this international break. Indeed, Pulga suffers from an injury to his right hamstring and has therefore withdrawn. Inter Miami coach Tata Martino hopes to find his player to play in the quarter-finals of the ConcaChampions: “Captain Lionel Messi will not be able to be present for the friendlies in the United States due to a minor injury suffered during his team’s match once morest Nashville”, announced the Argentine Football Association (AFA) this Monday evening. Note that Messi has played five of Miami’s seven official matches this season and neither side wants to take risks.

The announcement was more than ever expected since the Argentinian coach of Inter Miami, Tata Martino, was not optimistic regarding the state of form of the former FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain player: “I said regarding Leo that he wouldn’t play in today’s game and he didn’t play. He has a muscle injury and the problem with the national team seems to me to be his responsibility to talk to people regarding the national team., declared Martino, at a press conference, following his team’s away victory (3-1) once morest DC United. Tata Martino, logically, might not get directly involved in Albiceleste’s communication. The Argentine selection and Inter Miami are working together for the best possible rehabilitation.
